Carl "Bud" Leslie Sudbrink, the son of Harold and Ruth (Reynolds) Sudbrink, was born on December 6, 1931, in Albany, New York.  He grew up in Chicago, IL, where he attended public schools and graduated from Lane Tech High School in 1949.  He attended Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL, for two years before enlisting in the U.S. Army, serving from June 25, 1953, until his honorable discharge on April 25, 1954.  His first job after leaving the service was at Phoenix Dye Works in Chicago, where he worked as a textile dyer for two years.  On November 17, 1956, he was united in marriage to Julia Joan "Jo" Blythe at Union Church in La Harpe, IL.  The two first made their home in Cleveland, OH.  In 1959, they moved to Berea, OH, and in March of 1964 they moved to Cherry Hill, NJ, where they lived until 1978 when they moved to Fridley, MN, before retiring to a home along Lake Minnewaska in Glenwood, MN in 1981.  Bud and Jo were blessed with 3 children, Carl, Ava and Joy and the two shared 42 years of marriage before her death on August 15, 1999.
